iPod nano charging problems

I’ve had my iPod nano for a couple of years now and have never had any problems with it.

For the past week or so it hasn’t been charging properly. It connects up to the PC fine, it works on iTunes; I can add and remove songs off it. It even syncs fine with my Last FM app.

But the battery won’t charge. It charges up to a couple of bars, up until it’s red, but then stops, no matter how long I’ve left it in for.

I’ve tried different chargers and using different computers but this doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Does anyone know what’s wrong with it?

Answer #2

I suggest you turn it off for a few seconds. wait for the apple to appear and it’ll turn on again as well as charge. you may need to repeat it everytime you charge but eventually it’ll go back to normal. this has happened to my iPod as well. except I treat my iPod like crap… hehe.

if you don’t know how to turn it off (JUST IN CASE) then hold the center button and the play/pause button at the same time. hold them there until it shuts off. don’t touch it because it will go back on automatically (again just in case)

Answer #3

Some cell phones with lithium batteries have “battery memory” same with computers, where if it’s not full drained & recharged, and instead, only drained partially before charging, will lose it’s lifespan as a result of ‘imprinting’ or something on the battery. Basically, you should try draining the battery fully (if you haven’t) and then recharging it. If that doesn’t work, it may be necessary to send it back to Apple.
